Standardization of Plugs and Sockets for Two- and Three-wheeled Electric Vehicles (EVs) in Contributing to the Advancement of the National EV Industry

The Indonesian government has issued Presidential Regulation Number 55 of 2019 focusing on accelerating the battery-based electric motor vehicle program for road transportation, various supporting regulations and standards have been established. However, a crucial aspect that is lacking in this regulation is standard plugs and sockets, especially those intended for two-wheeled and three-wheeled vehicles. To meet the needs of the very large vehicle market in Indonesia. Therefore, this research seeks to develop a standardized plug and socket system for charging electric vehicles, thereby ensuring interoperability between manufacturers. This standard is designed to accommodate fast charging, allowing two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicles to efficiently utilize public electric vehicle charging infrastructure with fast charging duration. Qualitative descriptive methods were applied in this research. A group discussion forum approach was carried out to collect data to reach agreement to achieve the objectives of the research. The research results include the design of Indonesian National Standards to support production processes in the manufacturing sector, product prototypes, design of test requirements and procedures to support product quality testing. The objectives of this research is to develop a draft Indonesian National Standard to support production processes in the manufacturing sector, product prototypes, design testing requirements and procedures to support product quality testing. This research includes literature study, prototype development, testing, and preparation of standard proposals, with support from related agencies such as the National Research and Innovation Agency of Indonesia, National Standardization Agency of Indonesia, government agencies, related ministries, and related technical committees.
